Answer 2

I've had this problem loads with these things and it's such a pain.

I would suggest trying it in a different card reader first because sometimes the card reader will tell you the card is write protected when it's really fine.

If that still doesn't work try to format it from a device - If it's one of those micro-SD cards put it in your phone and format it from there.

or If it's just an SD card try using your camera or whatever your device you use it for to format the card.

Usually though it's the card reader that is the problem and not the card itself.

Hope this works for you
